Playing as Karma

Tips to maximize your impact

Deal damage to refresh Mantra
Hit the enemy with your spells: Gathering Fire (passive) lowers the cooldown of Mantra (R) with each damaging ability.
Mantra then Q to poke
To poke, cast Mantra (R) then Inner Flame (Q) at a group: the explosion leaves a ring of fire that slows and deals more damage.
Mantra then W at low health
At low health, cast Mantra (R) then Focused Resolve (W): you restore part of your missing health at the start and end of the tether, and the root lasts longer.
Mantra then E for the whole team
In teamfights, cast Mantra (R) then Inspire (E) on an ally surrounded by the others: everyone gets a shield and move speed, to engage or to escape.

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

Respect her level 1
Play carefully at the very start of lane: Mantra (R) is available from level 1, so Karma already has an empowered spell.
Break her tether
Move away as soon as Focused Resolve (W) tethers you: if the tether holds to the end, you take damage again and get rooted.
Leave the ring of fire
Quickly leave the ring of fire left by Inner Flame (Q) empowered by Mantra (R): it slows and deals extra damage.
Focus her in teamfights
If you can reach her, focus her in teamfights: Mantra (R) then Inspire (E) gives a shield and move speed to every ally grouped around her target.
